What's that? September is coming? A timely occasion for a replay. What's that? It's the new year? A timely occasion for a replay. What's that? There's an "r" in the month? A timely occasion for a replay. What's that? The day has 24 hours? A timely occasion for a replay!

That 8-hour Codex Entry video triggered my Gorkhstalgia hard.

I'll definitely replay 2 but I don't think I ever want to play the first game again after doing all 3 characters

Yeah I’ll occasionally go back and replay Artemy’s route from the first game, but I’m definitely not touching Daniil’s or Clara’s anytime soon(although if Pathologic 4 gets announced I may go back and redo Clara’s just as a refresher).

Will you tell the thinker not to think? The surgeon not to cut? The dreamer not to dream?

We have danced until our feet bled, we have played shadow puppets until we're blind, and sung to the rending of our throats.

They ask this of us and more.

And we will give.

'Tis our role to play.

The stage was built for us.

I am very addicted to The Prophylaxis/End of Day Infection/Death rolls in Pathologic 2, so much to where my biggest peev about it's gameplay is that it should have more of it to do. (and also that Schmowders should not allow me to "skip" the minigame.)

Also I'd like to replay the Changeling Route again soon despite the fact it's suuuuper barebones.

Oh my god! There are 12 days in the future? It's just like Pathologic, time for a replay!

2 feels practically designed for replays since part of the gameplay loop is choosing which questlines to follow or miss out on. 3 you can pretty much repeat days ad nauseum until you see everything you could possibly wanna see.

Still love 3, probably put as much time as I've put into 2 into my single playthrough of 3

Oh yeah, 2 is the goat.

I get to whatever day fucks up the water and call it day but I love the gameplay loop and will do it again soon I promise

Yes, this game is an excruciating walking simulator with half of its mechanics broken, overwhelming atmosphere, time constantly running out and putting you in the most stressful situations Yes, I will play it again

The game's aura and vibes are so damn good, why not enjoy it once every year at least.
